Many think it\u2019s a magic day when everybody\u2019s dreams come true. All people in their families are in\u00a0 New Year\u2019s fuss, preparing decorations and food, wrapping gifts etc. Later they hide gifts under the trees so they can surprise the younger ones who still believe in Santa Claus. Kids open gifts with happiness and joy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about me?\u00a0 I am not the one waiting Santa to bring me presents. Instead I am\u00a0 running from a playground to a playground telling kids Santa Claus isn\u2019t real. Don\u2019t think that it\u2019s my idea, I am not that evil! Of course every single cruel plan that will have a bad effect on other people is my friend, Niki\u2019s idea. At 7 o\u2019clock I remember I was sitting on the bench in the playground next to my friend who was looking forward to seeing her next \u2018victim\u2019, who in the best option would be a na\u00efve and careless kid. Niki was looking around knowing that there won\u2019t be many kids at the playground because of this special day. But luck is always on her side. Soon our neighbour, Viki what we call a \u2018holy terror\u2019 showed up with her \u2018gang\u2019. Oh, yes she was Niki\u2019s enemy, very spoiled and selfish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Oh, look, who do I see here?<\/li><li>Oh, you forgot your favorite neighbour? \u2013 responded Viki.<\/li><li>Not at all, I heard something interesting that I thought would be necessary for you to know.<\/li><li>Ugh, tell me already, Don\u2019t waste my time! \u2013 said Viki.<\/li><li>So what are you expecting from Santa Claus? \u2013 Niki started to bring her plan into action.<\/li><li>I\u2019m expecting to get a barbie \u2013 I\u2019m expecting Lego toys! \u2013 children started to get loud.<\/li><li>Oh yes! Exactly! Santa Claus will bring you all of those presents, how can you be so na\u00efve to believe all of these fairy-tales. Santa Claus doesn\u2019t exist.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids started crying but Viki was standing and looking at us with a doubting eye.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Oh yes, maybe you also believe in traveling in books and being princesses and queens, don\u2019t you? \u2013 I started to have fun with Niki but at the bottom of my heart I still felt bad for the kids.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked at Viki for a minute and she looked like a kid who is planning to conquer the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-can you stop, enough?! Can\u2019t you see they are crying?! Even that I am not going to be a princess or a queen I\u2019ll still have a better life then yours combined!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things got complicated while I was standing there and dreaming of something you\u2019ll probably never understand, and I didn\u2019t even realise how I got between Niki and Viki to help them stop fighting, and at that moment I felt that something flashed into my eyes, then there was a huge sound of something crashing. I opened my eyes And I couldn\u2019t believe what I saw. There were thousands of old looking houses and people with old fashioned clothes worn 5-6 centuries ago.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Niki and Viki also were dazed. There were looking around and then they looked at me like I knew where we were. We stood up still being little bit confused, we walked around and that was the moment when we saw an enormous castle which was fenced by guards. We were looking for a long time realising we either travelled back to past or either a book. Not only us but guards also stood in there with confused faces, even that I wasn\u2019t able to see their faces,&nbsp; I felt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of a sudden one of the guards asked \u2013 Umm, Why are you standing here like confused statues with strange clothes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We looked at him not knowing how to answer, because who would believe that it all started on one evening on the playground and we teleported here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>So no answer? \u2013 said the soldier \u2013 Umm, kids, where are your parents?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No answer on that either.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Viki wouldn\u2019t let the chance out of her hands and she quickly made up something and started talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Oh I am a lost princess, I came from another country because people thought I was a witch, but that\u2019s not true of course, I escaped from that country alone and then I met this two strangely dressed people who kept telling me they were from future! Do you believe them?<\/li><li>Umm, let\u2019s admit that you are not the only one who can think? \u2013 said another soldier with sarcasm \u2013 I am not a man to believe a 6 years old kid that she was accused of being a witch and then she escaped all by herself.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Viki got angry as her lie didn\u2019t work out, me and Niki were standing there and laughing, also were soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Maybe, you can tell us who your parents are and we will take you to them.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Niki said \u2013 actually we don\u2019t know where our parents are, how are you expecting yourself to find our home just by knowing their names? Plus we don\u2019t live here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soldiers didn\u2019t know where to take us, so they told we could sleep in streets. Viki got angry also did I, but I thought of something I quickly grabbed my phone, pointed it to soldiers&nbsp; and with threatening voice I said \u2013 This is a deadly weapon, as soon as I click few things you will soon be lying dead on the ground, not only that, but I can also explode the whole castle, so you better let us in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course soldiers didn\u2019t really know that this wasn\u2019t a weapon but they didn\u2019t want to die so they opened the gate. They let us in but before letting us in the castle they demanded to wait here. They ran somewhere, I think they needed a permission from the king, they quickly came back and told us we were allowed to come in. Well ,maybe that\u2019s because of my threat or why else would they let us in we are just some kids from nowhere.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as we entered the castle, maids ran towards us with new clothes and took us to the dressing room. We quickly got dressed up and soon as we stepped out of the room maids took us to the dining room, where even the king and prince bowed&nbsp; us. I felt like a goddess that is worshipped. They quickly brought the food and even cut food for us. We ate slowly so we could have a good time and after that they told us to follow the prince and maybe play with him. As soon as we entered his room he locked the door and stood on his knees \u2013 please don\u2019t explode us! We didn\u2019t do anything!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We laughed, and told him we wouldn\u2019t do anything bad we would just stay here for a night. He still looked little bit frightened but we just ignored it. We actually had a fun time, but Viki would call it \u2018the best day of her life\u2019 . Prince didn\u2019t seem to be scared anymore he took us to the bedroom and wished us a goodnight.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was 7 o\u2019clock when they woke us up. I understood we needed to leave because we were staying here only for a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We took our clothes and some presents that king gave us, we thanked them but the prince also wanted to give us something. He gave us shiny necklaces with crystals on it. Viki\u2019s one was fully yellow, Niki\u2019s was fully green and mine was purple. We thanked them and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as we left the castle three of us slipped on something and fell down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wake up Nita, wake up, New year is coming \u2013I heard mom\u2019s voice I woke up, I looked around and saw that I was in my house, lying on the couch, I think I fell asleep and this was just a silly dream. I stood up and heard a sound of something falling, I looked down and saw something shiny, the necklace with purple crystal! One that prince gave me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked up, I couldn\u2019t wait to see my friends\u2026<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Nita Bortsvadze<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once a year, there is a day when we celebrate &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","cat_1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16364"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16365,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16364\/revisions\/16365"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
